EAVES-TROUGH HANG ER.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 258,453, dated May 23, 1882,

Application filed March 25, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHMOND E. ll/IALLORY, a citizen of the United States, and resident at West Salem, in the county of Wayne and State of Ohio, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Eaves-Trough Hangers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being bad to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a side view of my improved eaves-trough hanger. Fig. 2 is a top or plan view of the same.

This invention has relation to hangers for eaves-troughs and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of the supporting-strap, its perforated arm and perforated catch-lip, and the pivoted latch-bar having a curved end surmounted by a stud to engage the perforation of the catch-lip, the engagement being secured by the elasticity of the strap, all as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the curved bearing portion of the supporting strap or hanger B. The outer end of the curved bearingA is formed with a curved extension or catch-lip, O, the end of which overhangs and is perforated at d. From the opposite end of the curved bearing A extends the horizontal portion E of the angular supporting-arm B. This horizontal portion E extends toward the catch-lip O for about half the breadth of the trough, which is seated in the bearing A, and it is perforated at g for the rivet h, whereby the latch-bar K is pivoted to this part of the hanger. The latch-bar K extends trnnsversely over the trough, and its outer end, I, is upwardly and outwardlycurved to fit neatly under the curved catch-lip O of the main strap. On the upper surface of the curved end I is a stud, s, which, when the latch-bar is brought under the catch-lip, engages the perforation d of the latter, and thereby looks it against lateral displacement, and at the same time fastens the curved bearing A and the latch-bar Ktogether in such a manner that spreading of the curved hearing will be'prevented. The latch-bar should be so pivoted to the horizontal portion E of the hangerarm that when sprung under the catch-lip a forcible engagement will be effected between the stud of the latch-bar and the perforation of the catch-lip.

Having described thisinvention,whatIclaim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The eaves-trough hanger consisting of the su1.)porting-strap B, its perforated arm E and perforated catch-lip G, and the pivoted latchbar K, its curved end lfitting under the catchlip and its stud s engaging the perforation d of said catch-lip, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
